Woo! Another clean sweep for Roo.
And Meridell drew Krawk? Wow. Lots of draws yesterday.
I am SHOCKED. Flabbergasted. Puzzled. Confused. All those things.
But, it does explain something important:
Yesterday, many people (myself included) went home from work early.
KI's poor showings on weekends and half-days leads me to believe the following with regard to yooyuball:
-that KI's players are mainly 20-something men playing from work, not from home
-The Rooligans seem to be a combination of 20-something to 30-something men and women both playing from a combination of locations.
-Faerieland seems to be kids, who are traditionally somewhat noncommital.
So Faerieland, because of team demographics, is at a distinct disadvantage much of the time - from what I can tell, team scores are a combination of scores submitted per player and goal differential. Since many FL players are kids, they can't devote nearly as much time to the game as those of us who have jobs but don't actually do them
KI is at a disadvantage because the guys playing it are doing so by abusing their work internet priveleges. At home, they don't play as much.
The Rooligans, because they're a balanced (and dedicated) bunch, seem to have the most going for them.
Roo Island will probably win this year, I think. Krawk Island will do well IF the finals are on weekdays. If they're on weekends, KI won't stand a chance.
